Page 37 of Property of Heart

“You fuckin’ well do.”I brush my lips gently against hers while I place the strap around her waist.

Pulling away to secure the sheath, I notice the blinding smile on her face as she watches my hands.Yeah, I’m not letting her go.Not ever.

“Didn’t Karev tell you not to give her a knife?”Kepner asks as he comes to a stop next to us.

I don’t spare the brother a glance when I state, “Mind your own damn business, Kepner.She’s my property, no one has fuck to say about my old lady.”

“So very true,” Lina murmurs and I watch her twirl the knife I just gave her in her hand.

Kepner narrows his eyes as he watches the same move.He presses his lips in a thin line and quickly moves past us.A bark of laughter rips from me and it earns me a huge damn grin from my woman.

“Come on, let’s see if we can find the coins so your brother can dodge getting married,” I tell Lina who quickly places the knife back into the leather sheath.

She hands me the keys again and I open the door, letting the brothers into the warehouse before we step inside.Another thing I like; the trust she has in me.Handing over the keys, the notebook, things like that to let me take lead.

I rumble off the numbers of the full inventory and Lina walks straight to a place with several boxes and furniture.“This is part of a complete inventory I bought.The clock, along with three statues and some fake plants, are already at the store.”

“Everyone grab a box,” Fatal orders.

“Handle shit with care and place everything back the way it was,” I add, making sure my woman’s stuff doesn’t get trashed.

Karev walks up to Lina.“What’s the name of the person you bought it from?”

Handing Lina the notebook, she turns the page and shows it to Karev while she says, “Jenny Molin.She contacted me through email, and we talked on the phone twice to make everything in order.She flew down here to sign the papers and let me inside the house.”

“Jasper Molin’s daughter.She lives across the country.He stole the coins and he might have told her,” Karev murmurs.

I sigh in frustration.“So, if we don’t find the damn things we need to ride across country to see if she has them?”

Karev shrugs.“If there’s still time.”

Lina surprises us when she says, “I remember her telling me how she hated her father and hadn’t had contact with him in over twenty years.Which is why she didn’t want anything or so much as go inside the house.She opened the door for me and handed me the keys after she signed the papers.I dropped the keys off at the real estate company who was going to sell the house for her.”

All Karev says is, “Good to know,” before he stalks away to grab a box from the huge pile of Jasper Molin’s belongings.Lina and I follow and each grab a box.Time to search for three damn coins in a pile of old, used merchandise.
